Okay, sure.

On your next German turn, depending on rolls, if you attack Kenya with just aircraft, take the infantry as the first casualty, then the bomber, then the fighter.

@AcesWild5049 Ah that makes sense. Yeah, all your options there were difficult ones, because in my opinion the game was effectively lost before we began due to the lack of bid as I hope to convince you; Germany simply doesn’t have enough troops to keep Europe long enough on its own. So you had to choose between a few different ways of bleeding Germany. I think I would have holed up in Berlin and conceded territories sooner, but you’re right that Japan wouldn’t have had enough time to make it there.

Sure no rush on starting the next one. I’d be interested in seeing the results from your records. In this game I felt like I had slightly worse than average luck towards the beginning (which I didn’t mind seeing because I’d rather demonstrate that even with poor luck the Allies have such a strong position without a bid), the middle felt pretty even, and then we both had some bad losses later on but in your case you needed every little bit to stay alive and in my case while the luck was worse it was not so bad that it could change a won game to a lost one. That naval battle we rolled over Skype did go better than average for me - maybe I should roll real dice more often! ;)

Okay, I created a new thread here:

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/33336

We can use this one for post game discussion on this one.

In particular I was curious about your strategy regarding Southern Europe on the second half of this game. By getting rid of your AA gun I was able to bleed Germany a lot more quickly than I would have been otherwise able to, since I could bomb it freely, then take it eventually, then you would take it back. Trades were almost never in your favor since I tried to usually use Russian troops to attack, and I was intending all along to use British troops for the final invasion.

Good luck!

Good game!

And sure. I’m going to bed now but feel free to just take the savegame from the beginning of this one with my first Russia turn as I would do the same thing again and with no dice on RR it will have the same outcome.

For the remaining troops, kill Russian infantry, then Russian tanks, then US fighter, then UK fighters last.

@AcesWild5049 okay, take hits on all the bombers please.

If you attack Moscow with everything you have, please ask about casualties as you roll them as I may or may not want to lose bombers early on.

FYI I’ll be taking the Japanese bomber as casualty first since that gives you the best return fire and unless I only roll 6s all battle even the luck I’ve been having this past round shouldn’t prevent me from winning this battle.

@AcesWild5049 It does somewhat but as you can see from the combat differential summary, you still fared a lot better in that battle in Southern Europe than you could have expected, and the Russian -7.17 overall score was still atrocious. Even if both your fighters had survived just now, I also would have still been able to take Germany easily with the UK right now, but had my attack against SIN succeeded, Russia would have no threat against it for a while. Now though, Russia is going to have to withdraw heavily. In fact, if you don’t mind, could I have non-combatted the two Russian fighters back to Moscow, as I have no chance to keep Karelia? I’ll leave it to you to do that or not during Japan’s turn and meanwhile I’ll take UK now without making a change either way.

I definitely still am ahead but the luck favoring you has kept you much more viable!

Also wow, that was a devastating battle in Sinkiang; I had well over 90% odds on that and I got crushed!
